LIVE THE SWEET LIFE IN ‘DOLCE VITA’

This hip, young brand knows how to make shoes and clothes that fit you–and your budget–all while keeping your closet ahead of seasonal trends. You may have heard the name after spotting items that are often picked up for resale by the likes of Urban Outfitters, or perhaps you have stumbled upon their wonderfully minimalist Ludlow St. store in NYC. Either way, I have been stalking Dolce Vita since my days as an assistant buyer for a boutique down South, and I still can’t get enough. DV’s spring 2011 collection ties in perfectly with the ever-present abstract/geometric print trend going on, but in its own unique way. DV silk dresses are truly stunning on anyone who slips them on and they can very easily go from day to night. Hell, I’d be rocking one right now if it weren’t a slushy disaster outside.
